Nortel Networks is most likely the largest manufacturer of telephony equipment, both TDM and VoIP. All of their PBXs, all of their key systems, and almost all of their VoIP systems run on VxWorks. Its laughable that some VoIP vendors claim five 9s of reliability on a platform with an OS as unreliable as Windows. Nobody should seriously consider an enterprise telephony platform built on Windows.
Worse than predictable passwords is when password rules are made too difficult - forcing people to write them on posti notes.
VoIP? Give me a break!

Without QoS this just will not work. Typical RTD throught the Internet is in excess of 200 ms. For anything near PSTN voice quality, you would need something around 50 ms....sorry, you can't call the fire department, your ISP is down
Give me a break! First, with my broadband ISP I'm getting about 200ms rtd when I ping various sites, no way is VoIP going to work without QoS end to end in the network.
Second, keeping in mind the quality of a typical internet connection, if you were having a heart attack would you rather have the paramedics called over an IP phone or POTS?
